My response:

She can "tend" to think all she wants. All because you are the "girlfriend" of someone she used to be married to, doesn't give her any rights to your money. That makes about as much sense as her having rights to my checking account.

You're still a "third party" that isn't responsible for his debts, nor are you responsible in any fashion for her debts, simply because you and he are dating.

Let her try, and watch her make a fool out of herself.

What happens if she marries the poor *******? Does first wifey get any digs in then - if account is in new wife's name?

No. The first wife would still not have any rights to any money in the account that is in the new wife's name alone. If the accont was put in both husbands and new wifes name, THEN she could attach to the account, but only if she gets a judgement first. She can't just say "he owes me money" and pull it from the account. On top of that, she would have to transfer (can't think of the legalese word!) the judgement to CT from FL to enforce it.
